LIC-02No key: clear error

What this test proves

Without a key, the first licensed call must fail with a message that tells the developer where to get a free key.

How it is tested

  1. Start with an empty license state folder, no key, no license files
  2. Call DicomFile.OpenAsync on ct_mono16_64x64.dcm (9,100 bytes)
  3. Pass if it throws DicomKitLicenseException with Status.State KeyRequired
  4. and the message contains https://dicomkit.plogic.dev/DeveloperKey

Expected result for each license type

  • No key: Asks for key: stops and asks for a license key
